Wilfred Ndidi, a midfielder for Leicester City and Super Eagles, is a target for Atletico Madrid in the summer.

The Spanish powerhouses are doing this in an effort to bolster their defensive midfield options in preparation for the 2025–2026 season.
Diego Simeone’s team is giving priority to midfield reinforcements as captain Koke Resurrección approaches the conclusion of his career and Thomas Lemar is anticipated to leave.
Ndidi is now on Atletico’s shortlist, which also includes Samu Costa of Mallorca, according to CaughtOffside.
Before agreeing to a new contract at Leicester, the Nigerian midfielder was linked to a move to Barcelona last summer.
He is anticipated to depart the Premier League team in 2025, which puts Atletico Madrid and other potential suitors on notice.
Since Real Betis expects to lose Johnny Cardoso to Tottenham and is already looking for a replacement, they have also shown interest in Ndidi.
A £20 million proposal for Ndidi was reportedly turned down by AS Monaco during the winter transfer window, but they may make another attempt.
The 27-year-old is admired by Atletico, but a move may be contingent on Leicester’s asking price.
